The Evidence People
Paul Crisp, CUREE's managing director, attended a Round Table event convened by NAHT earlier this month. The report published by NAHT (http://www.naht.org.uk/) is the result of a Round Table debate with a panel of CPD experts to discuss the issues.

Speaking at the second ResearchED conference on 6 September 2014, Philippa Cordingely offered some further insights into the differences between schools that were *merely* strong and those which were exceptional in meeting the needs of vulnerable learners.
Her presentation which can be downloaded from here outlined the key features which distinguished those schools which were exceptional (75%+ at GCSE including English and Maths) ) from those merely very good (achieving at least national averages) at meeting the needs of vulnerable learners in communities with very high FSM (free school meals).
How can busy FE practitioners build and share research in their day to day work? Making a difference through small, shared steps.
Philippa Cordingley and Anne Groll have written a research digest on teacher enquiry that has been published in InTuition; the Institiute for Learning's professional journal written for teachers and trainers across further education (FE) and skills to support them in their practice throughout their career.
On Saturday 24th June, Philippa and Paul attended the 'Teacher Research Conference' at Sussex University.
Philippa presented a keynote on "Making research work for teacher, for students, for leaders and the system". In her presentation Philippa highlighted the consistent evidence about the contribution of research to learning; something that we at CUREE are particularly passionate about.

The British Film Institute (BFI) has commissioned CUREE to conduct an evaluation of the 5-19 film education programme that is being delivered by Into Film, in partnership with the BFI, over a period of four years (2013-2017). This programme includes a wide range of activities (such as film clubs, film festivals and film making activities) to encourage watching, making and critical understanding of film for 5-19 year olds across the UK.
